Is there an API I can use to determine who has a specified file open?

My task is to overwrite a file, but if a user has it open, I need to
send them a message (or better yet, clear their connection).

Any ideas?

I have seen the 'whohasit' program, so I know this can be done, just
not sure how to do it..
